Mrs. Wang came to the Wang family when she was three years old.

A three-year-old child has limited memory, and all she can remember now are only some vague images, and even she herself cannot tell whether they are true or false.

But there was one thing she always tried to remember and never dared to forget for a moment: her real name was Ye Linlan.

When she was a child, she was afraid that she would forget her name and never find her family again, so she kept repeating the name.

In my memory, there is a kind and beautiful young woman who always smiles at me and calls me Laner affectionately.

There were also groups of servants and women, and the courtyard was filled with pavilions, rockeries and flowing water. But I was too young at that time, so I can’t remember the details in detail, but I can tell that she definitely came from a wealthy family.

In the remaining memory, one day there was a chaos of war, shouting and killing everywhere, and I was separated from my family for some reason while walking. A woman took me and hid here and there.

The mother-in-law was seriously injured in the chaos. She remembered that the mother-in-law bled a lot. Even now when she closes her eyes, she can still see the blood all over her body. She handed herself over to the Wang family when she was dying. She didn't even have time to talk to the Wang family. If you tell me too much, you will die.

Mrs. Xin and Mr. Wang had been married for five years but still had no children. Seeing that the girl was richly dressed and had many valuable jewelry, they happily agreed to adopt the girl and promised to take good care of her. When the baby grows up, he will choose a good family for her to marry and promise not to teach her to suffer.

She didn't want to change her name at first, but Mrs. Xin was afraid that her family would find her and block her path to wealth, so she forcefully changed her name to Wang Hongxiu.

The Wang family was originally very poor and a well-known poor family in Wangjia Village. After adopting Xiao Hongxiu, their life gradually got better by selling the jewelry on Xiao Hongxiu. People in the village were amazed and said that Xiao Hongxiu gave it to his family. Brings blessings.

In the first two years, because the old couple had no children of their own, they treated Hongxiu quite well. At least they were well fed and they were not beaten or scolded at will.

But two years later, Mrs. Xin, who had been infertile for many years, became pregnant. The couple was so happy that they were almost confused.

The couple only cared about being happy, so they gradually ignored Xiao Hongxiu.

The villagers couldn't stand it any longer and advised Mrs. Xin to be kinder to Xiao Hongxiu, saying that maybe her pregnancy was a blessing brought by Xiao Hongxiu. Otherwise, why hadn't she been pregnant for so many years?

Mrs. Xin didn't take it seriously. She just felt that it was her fate with her child. What happened to Guan Xiaohongxiu?

Later, the child was born in anticipation. It was a boy, namely Tiezhu. Now Xiao Hongxiu completely stepped aside.

The old couple could no longer see Xiao Hongxiu in their eyes. They could only see their biological son Tie Zhu. Instead, they felt that Xiao Hongxiu was an eyesore and a freeloader.

The family could not afford to have free meals, so Xiao Hongxiu's miserable life began completely.

Because Mrs. Xin was in confinement and could not do laundry or cook, the whole burden fell on Xiao Hongxiu.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter. Xiao Hongxiu tried her best to break the ice on the river with stones. She reached into the biting ice water to wash Tie Zhu's diapers. The cold water pierced her bones and hurt, as if she were being pierced by sharp knives. In hand.

But Xiao Hongxiu didn't dare to stop, because if she couldn't finish washing, she would be beaten.

A neighbor's aunt couldn't stand it any longer, so she helped wash two diapers. Even the adults' hands were red from the cold. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she boiled a large pot of hot water and mixed it with hot water to wash the diapers. .

But the aunt can only help occasionally, and cannot help Xiaohong embroider every day.

Just a few days after washing, Xiao Hongxiu's hands developed chilblains. As long as she rubbed the diaper vigorously, blood would flow out. When she felt cold and painful, she especially missed the kind young woman who smiled at her in her dream. She knew that was her. Her mother.

But mother, where are you? Lan'er really misses you, especially if you don't come, Lan'er will almost forget you.The pain in her hands was so unbearable that Xiao Hongxiu wanted to follow the neighbor's aunt's example of heating hot water to wash diapers, but Mrs. Xin wouldn't let her do it, saying it was a waste of firewood. Anyway, it was worthless girl films, which were so valuable.

He failed to boil hot water and got scolded.

Although she is young, she has gradually figured out the temper of Mrs. Xin in the past few years. She is a cruel person who does not feel sorry for herself at all.

Fortunately, although my adoptive father, Mr. Wang, didn't treat me well, he never beat or scolded me.

So she went to find Mr. Wang again, but Mr. Wang sighed and said:
"Hongxiu, you are six years old this year. You are a big girl. Your mother has given birth to a younger brother. You must be sensible and don't make your mother angry."

Xiao Hongxiu completely understood that her adoptive father was unreliable.

So she no longer begged anyone, nor did she expect any love from these two people. She gritted her teeth and washed the diapers, thinking that winter would eventually pass and it would be fine when the weather warmed up.

Sure enough, no matter how cold the winter is, it will pass, and the ice surface will change from thick to thin until it completely melts.

The spring water has gradually warmed up, ducks are playing in the river, and the little girl is squatting by the river and struggling to wash her diaper.

When she came to the Wang family at the age of three, she was a chubby pink baby. Now she is over six years old, but she looks like a little carrot head, with a sallow complexion and skinny muscles. She is thinner than the girls of the same age in the village. She wears a patched gray coat. The clothes are so fluttering, and the big eyes look so uncoordinated on the small face.

Even though she has thin arms and legs, even though she has a sallow complexion and thin skin, the stubbornness in the little girl's eyes makes her whole person full of strength.

The little girl looked up at the sky and saw a flock of sparrows flying overhead.

She suddenly envied these sparrows.

Although sparrows are small, they have wings and can fly freely in the sky and go wherever they want.

She also really wanted to have a pair of wings to fly away from this home and find her biological parents.

But she was still too young. She didn’t have a penny in her body, and she had small arms and legs. She could only walk to the town on her own, and she didn’t know where her parents were. How could she find them in such a big place? Don’t find her parents yet. He was abducted by a kidnapper.

She really wanted to grow up quickly. When she was washing clothes, she heard those older sisters saying that she could leave home after getting married.

"Hongxiu, your mother is calling you at home. Go back quickly. Don't make your mother angry and beat you again."

A shout interrupted her random thoughts. It was the kind-hearted aunt next door.

Yes, her beatings were commonplace and everyone in the village knew about them.

If you cook late, you will be beaten. If you do too little or too much, you will be beaten. If you do not wash the diaper thoroughly, you will be beaten. If you walk slowly, you will be beaten. If Tiezhu cries, he will be beaten. If the family has no money, he will be beaten. Even if you are good, you will be beaten.

She was too young to really resist.

You can't run. If you run away when being beaten, you will be beaten even harder when you come back. You can't cry, otherwise the adoptive mother Xin will look too mean and vicious. If you cry, your mouth will be torn off or even sewn shut. Mouth.
